Unreliable Standpipes Bring Laundry Chaos

As my tests showed, these standpipes are an absolute disaster. The difficult installation process and flimsy parts led to numerous leaks and constant frustration. The only positive is that they are relatively inexpensive compared to other laundry fixtures in the market. However, the cost savings are not worth the hassle and constant need for repairs. Save yourself the headache and invest in a higher quality option in the Kitchen & Bath Fixtures category of Tools and Home Improvement.

Pros
  • Simple and easy to install
Cons
  • Limited color options

it worked well. Water Drain

I have Bought this to use as a water softener vent gap. It didn't work for me as a standalone product... However, with a little "help" it worked fine. The drain water is under quite a bit of pressure, at least with our softener, so simply sticking vinyl tubing into the top port isn't enough... The pressure just pushes it out, splashing water all over the place. It just so happens that a standard dishwasher pipe coupler (rubber) fits perfectly into the port and a 5/8 OD vinyl hose fits perfectly

Pros
  • STANDARD DESIGN: Allows use of a soft rubber wash hose or aluminum drain hook to share riser with other air gap devices, recommended flow rate 1 to 7 gpm (3.7 to 26.5 liters/minute)
Cons
  • weak

Works best in laundries and communal sinks

I use two of these side by side in a 1.5 inch -PVC riser. No instructions are provided as it seems obvious how to use it, but I've read other reviews complaining about leaks, splashing water down the side, or any thoughts that skyrocket the first time you use it. To prevent these problems, I recommend the following: 1. Tape off the pipe to be inserted if it is not tight on its own. This ensures your pipe drains straight down and also protects the top end from leaks. With the pipe insertedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • COMPLIANT: UPC listed and tested to IPC and NSF standards provides more than double the minimum air gap required by code
Cons
  • Available in black only
